Lol, rather poor form agreed, but since when have fans been ejected from a ground for a few unpleasant words?

When it can be heard on Sky TV thus breaching Broadcasting Standards? Or when it's supposed to be a family game and the guy is blurting out obscenities? Jesse didn't appear bothered in the slightest.

Despite playing quite badly, Wellington weren't far away. 10 more runs and some better fielding and it would've gone right to the wire. Fair play to the Volts. The best team throughout the competition, and it would've been a crime if they'd missed out on a Champion's League place because of losing this. I reckon the CL spot should go to whoever tops the round robin. One-off T20 games are just too random.

Indeed but it makes for better TV and hence probably is better for cricket.

Plus Broom covered himself in glory today. He will remember that.

Proudly against the bring back Bennett movement since he is injury prone and won't last 5 days.

Ryder
Rutherford
Munro
Latham
CdG
Ronchi
Neesham (fifth loose and lusty left-hander in the top seven, ah....Broom would go down a treat with Mike obvs. Ellis took 4/14 vs. Otago I notice.)
Hira
Henry (won't happen but anyway. Would be very harsh on Butler tbf)
Beard
Duffy

Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.

Wellington would have gone okay at the CL had they won today. Ryder, Ronchi, Tamim, Franklin, Gillespie etc are all good players. Just keep the two Aussie shunts away from the team.

Will never win though.

I reckon the selectors may be tempted to give Duffy a debut in t20's this season. Southee won't be back in time for the t20's, Milne and Gillespie will probably still be injured and the consensus is that Bracewell and Mills aren't suited to the shortest form.

From the final team, Brett Lee, Nathan McCullum, Brendan McCullum, Neil Wagner, and Jimmy Neesham would all be available to come into the team. It would be tough to leave out some of the guys who played the final. I would go something like
